After three days of intense work we returned safely from the “Digital Bridges” steering-committee meeting at Rudbeck Sollentuna Kommuns Gymnasium late Friday evening.
We took the chance of meeting and talking to all Swedish colleagues being already involved in the “Digital Bridges”-project as well as to those who want to get involved in the near future. It was a great opportunity to consolidate our energy, discuss obstacles that had occured and then, of course, to find solutions and to further the activities in various subjects on a new level.
After all, I can say I am really happy having joined my colleagues Mrs Mahlke-Harms, Mrs Lorenzana and Mr Heitmann on this trip which did not only give me a deeper insight into the project as a whole but also made me very optimistic for the specific activities ahead of us including the opportunity for the students to meet in person soon. 

As I know that a lot of work has already been done and still will have to be done I would like to thank all my German colleagues for their commitment, in particular Mrs Mahlke-Harms for her excellent organisation of our trip to Sweden, and Mrs Lorenzana and Mr Heitmann for their productive contribution and input. 
I would also like to send a big “thank you!” to our Swedish friends at Rudbeck. It was a pleasure to experience their warm hospitality and to work together with them. A special “thanks!” goes to project manager Ted Weisberg who again organised the summit very well in terms of the actual working sessions as well as the interesting fringe events that included a school tour, lesson attendances, transport services, a fantastic dinner at a Swedish restaurant and a wonderful evening at his place (also a big hug and thank you to his charming wife Agneta!). 

Finally I would like to thank all the students being or becoming engaged in “Digital Bridges”. You are the ones who will make this project come alive! I wish you all the best for your project work!
Although I know that there will be challenges in the future, after this trip to Rudbeck Gymasium I am absolutely positive that our shared project will become a big success for all of us! Good luck!
